There is a new wallet concept - http://www.eliptibox.com/. First to talk about firewall on hardware and packed with features. Can be interesting platform for developers. Interesting concept, thanks for sharing. What does "fpga hardware firewall" means? Why do you need this if you do only offline signing? I don't assume that this wallet downloads the blockchain to let you view your transactions. I also was wondering why a field programable gate array would be used as a firewall. Apparently it does download block headers and stores tx info on the device, so says their site. |

I have both a Trezor and a Ledger Nano. Both work just fine, I have not worked enough with them to intelligently say which is "better". But, I like them both.
I do not require advanced features, so I may pass on downloading the new Trezor firmware. I just want a secure and easy-to-use way to keep my Bitcoin in cold storage.
But dood! Customizable home screens with the new firmware. |

It would be really nice to be able to assign names to the accounts on your Trezor. It's confusing trying to remember which account is which.
+3. This has been asked a few times, and I thought they said they were working on it way back when. Anyways, this would be a boon to the average user. |

Going through a proper slow down. Hate anything over 6 hours.
Not long now before the blocks start falling over themselves seeing diff has gone up to 46.7 from 44.5 ...... fingers crossed, thats if my theory about slush's algorithm being fast to learn how to crack blocks at new diffs is right. There is no algorithm to change how fast you find blocks and it is completely unrelated to the network difficulty other than the simple test "Is this share a block?" You can try till you're blue in the face, but some people just can't or won't learn. |

How much blocks could a block maker make if a block maker could make blocks?
Depends on the skill of the blockmaker.  And luck according to the white paper. |

Just got an email from BFL. Seems their hardware wallet is still a thing.
What? Really? I thought the whole company went tits up. This is what I thought too. I mean I have always been very anti BFL, but maybe since they've been in trouble with the Government maybe they got bought out and will deliver a good product. They had good mining products, but delivered too late to be of much use. Their hardware wallet looks nice though, if they ever deliver. |

Saw one of these being listed on eBay. Was going to bid until I read all these posts about the hardware being very unreliable. Its weird because I always heards Terraminers were bullet-proof.
I have heard people report bad hardware too, but the one I received in March last year has been running strong ever since, and I've only had to reboot it twice since receiving it. |

It might seem off the current topic but my Trezor advert has disappeared from my dashboard. Has the offer finished?
I don't see the Trezor advertisement on the beta site, but it is still on the regular site in my browser. |

Damm this is getting bitchy. It's obvious the illuminati has infiltrated the pool. There, case solved.
This might be the most plausible conspiracy theory that I have seen here in years. |

What prevents a pool participant from keeping a solved block for itself? You could share the rewards if someone else solves it but keep everything for yourself if you do.
That's a pure newbie question right there. |

During restore the words have to be typed on a computer. I know fake words are used in case spyware is around but once I've typed them, it doesn't seem as safe as when the device creates a fresh set. (I'm sure it's still a big search space though)
Would making a list of bip39 words with an associated 4-digit number (perhaps with leading 0's out and repeating digits removed) and using the pin pad screen just type in the seed using the pin pad and numbers? Each word would be 4-clicks on the mouse and the spyware never learns any of the words.
If they randomized the pin pad for each word, this might alleviate your concerns. But words are input in random order so if you use 24 then it would take a while to find the right combo, and if you hardened it with a passphrase would be almost impossible to find the correct wallet. |

Helpful enough to get a cool free coolwallet? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Please send an email to info@coolbitx.com and then we can discuss. I was really unlucky! Congrats, friend! Anyway, he was kind enough to give me one for cheaper price.  -MZ I wouldn't say you are really unlucky unless they don't ship and you lose your money. Anyway, he offered me one for cheaper price too. |

I must say, I am more than happy with trezor. You can really see that they thought long and hard about every possible attack vector. There is no sloppiness.
Thought long and hard indeed. Over two years in the making. So far the most secure And easiest to use. |

Thanks for the reply CoolBitX, that makes more sense. Also it says somewhere on the faq that the priv key can be saved to encrypted file or printed on paper yet in another place says the keys never leave the device. I guess it meant to say seed can be saved instead of private keys.
Yes you are right. We meant to say back up the seed. You have been really helpful! Helpful enough to get a cool free coolwallet? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. |

Has anyone ordered a CoolWallet @ Indiegogo yet?
I have. You might want to review the text on your faq page and blog page for inconsistencies. One place says each of the 5 accounts can have almost unlimited priv/pub key pairs and another spot says only 232 key pairs per account. Wtf? If it truly is BIP32 hd wallet then account would have unlimited key pairs. There are other inconsistencies also but that one seemed extra weird. These kinds of things makes the project look scammy to me. Also if someone were to get your card and paired device could they not easily empty your wallet with the tap tap? Other than that, I think it's a cool wallet that I would use.
There are a few oddities but I'm guessing this is just a language barrier. Just because the wallet is BIP32 and can generate an infinite number of key pairs does not mean it can store them so it could still be BIP32. If coolbitx decides to answer this I'd also like to ask whether or not the private key can in anyway be retrieved from the CoolWallet or not (app, etc.) The private keys can be retrieved by entering the seed into software/web HD wallet that support BIP32. I think I may definitely have to get one of these cool babies as soon as they're released for deliveries as I am pretty much done with preordering anything anymore. |
